Elias "Leo" Villanueva

Uncle Leo will always be missed. He filled our hearts with laughter and joy, our pockets with "ice cream money", and our tummys with cookies. I know that he and past family members watch over all of us, and I cannot think of anyone else better for the job.

Leo was the best Papos anyone could ask for.He helped so many people when he was the one the that needed the help.He was always there to give out his hugs and picos.He could always bring a smile upon someones face.I never thought he would leave us but at least he is no longer in pain and he is in a happy place.He was an amazing man and he left us with many good memories.i love and miss you grandpa(papos)

I'm so glad I had a man like"Coach Leo" to teach me how to play sports. Like Nacho Garcia said, he taught us how to win with a humble spirit and lose with pride. Althought as Pee Wee Sluggers we rarely lost. I remember when we would win championships he would shed tears over the trophy. Tears that were tears of joy and pride. He was a man of integrity and honor. The world has lost a truly GREAT man whom I'll never forget. I'm sorry I missed the honor of attending his funeral. Even though this...

My Uncle Leo was the best pico uncle in the world, and along with that came his hugs, whom i told several times his hugs always reminded me of my dad Luis Villanueva, his brother. Being part of a large family to me is consider a gift of love, affection, support, and understanding, all of these have been past to my children as well, and i hope this continues on for a long time within our families, this is the best legacy any family could receive and cherrish. My Aunt Annie, I will always be...

Thank you uncle Leo for teaching the importance of family by being such a good example of what a family should be. Much thanks to you and aunt Annie for always having so much love for all of us. This lesson has been passed to me, and your legacy will live on when I pass this lesson to my own children. I will see you again someday when my maker calls me home. All my love, Edward Dominic Villanueva 2nd and sons.

Annie and Leo were always 2 of my favorite people in the world. I send my deepest condolences to every single person who ever knew Leo, because he was such a great and loving friend that his loss deeply affects each of us who knew him.

But especially I send all my best to each famiy member, as I know how much Leo is loved and missed by you all. Leo was such a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. God be with you and within you during this time. I love you all. Aggie

To the Villanueva family, you have our deepest sympathy. May God comfort you at this time. I always have the memory of your Dad with a smile on his face and very out going personality. Fun to be had by all around him.
Debbie Acosta and Family.

Anna, You and Leo gave so much love to me during a most difficult time in your life. There is sometimes a patient and family we will never forget. You and your girls are very special in my heart. My prayers are with you. Love you all.

To the Villanueva Family,
Prayers go out to you and your family for the soul of this great man. He was a father to everyone and offered great advice when needed. I remember his smile and beautiful eyes and how he loved to kid around. God Bless you all!
